    Coffs Harbour bypass my arse! I'll believe it when I see it.
    The point is that the old fats will not look in their mirrors and pull over to let the long queues behind get past and get going. If I can pull a loaded trailer at 100-110 k's with a 23 year old Land Rover, then modern cars can too.

    I for one have been frustrated by just as many country drivers driving slowly on country roads. The usual scenario involves farmer Joe pulling out of one of his driveways into a 100km/h stream of traffic and dawdling along in his beat up 'Cruiser or Hilux at 70km/h before pulling into another driveway or stopping in the next town.

    A long held dislike of mine. The cockie usually pulls out of his gate or lane in FRONT of a fast moving group of highway traffic, couldn't possibly wait one minute for the road to clear, takes half a mile to accelerate to 60-70 k's and dawdles along checking out the neighbours crops, stock, fences on his way to town.

    And looking in the rearview mirror to check the dog hasn't fallen off the back and see how many suckers he's blocked I'm sure.

    Look, let's face it.

    There are:
    • Good drivers and bad drivers.
    • Impatient drivers and incompetent drivers.
    • Considerate drivers and selfish.
    • Locals and unfamiliar drivers.
    • Safe drivers and overconfident drivers.


    To pigeon hole them to country and city is just silly.


    Oh the farmers and the cowman should be friends......
